The Hoxton

The Hoxton is a British hotel chain owned by Ennismore.[1]

History

The Hoxton brand was founded in 2006 by Sinclair Beecham, co-founder of Pret A Manger.[2] It launched with The Hoxton, Shoreditch,[3] built on a former car park on Great Eastern Street in East London.[4] In 2012, Ennismore, owned by Sharan Pasricha, acquired The Hoxton, Shoreditch and the brand.[5] Pasricha has held the position of CEO since 2012.[6] In 2013, Ennismore initiated a refurbishment and rebranding programme.

Locations

The Hoxton opened its first site in Shoreditch in 2006, before expanding to Holborn in 2014, Amsterdam in 2015, and Paris in 2017. They opened a further two hotels in 2018, one in Williamsburg and one in Portland followed by properties in Chicago, Southwark, and Downtown Los Angeles in 2019 before a 2021 opening in Rome. Most recently, The Hoxton opened in Barcelona (2022), followed by a fourth London hotel in Shepherd's Bush (2022), and new European locations in Berlin and Brussels in 2023, Vienna in 2024 and Dublin in 2025.[7]

The Dublin hotel caused controversy in February 2025 by seeking an injunction against Yamamori Izakaya, a long-established live music bar and restaurant beside it.[8][9]
